Our website features

Editus websites are built on one of two basic frameworks; a ‘standard’ platform and an ‘extended’ platform. Determining which of the two best suits your needs is dependent upon how sophisticated and functional we decide the site should be, what choices we make about the plugins needed to achieve what we need, and the amount of work required to create, prepare, and optimize the site content and page elements.

Editus websites are built on one of two basic frameworks; a ‘standard’ platform and an ‘extended’ platform. Determining which of the two best suits your needs is dependent upon how sophisticated and functional we decide the site should be, what choices we make about the plugins needed to achieve what we need, and the amount of work required to create, prepare, and optimize the site content and page elements.

Adaptable platforms that suit your needs and realize your vision.

The ‘standard’ platform offers a suite of basic design features, website elements, and functionality, and offers a straightforward, relatively conservative and simple user experience. It is built by choosing a theme, making some rudimentary changes to its characteristics and behavior, and constructing the site pages with the images and text content provided by you. Three months technical support and maintenance after delivery of the site are part of the package.

The ‘extended’ platform features a wide range of premium features and site functionality, and is a more sophisticated, functional, capable, and immersive experience. We are actively involved in the content creation stage, and work extensively on the text, images, and page elements ourselves. We make extensive modifications to the look and layout of the theme and page elements as necessary, and offer six months technical support and maintenance, including installation and integration with your other online resources.

All our sites are richly imbued with the editus design aesthetic, and both platforms are extensible with optional plugins which either modify the standard behavior of the chosen theme, enrich or beautify the theme’s user experience, or extend the website’s core functionality.

A thoughtful, collaborative, and transparent working process.

At every stage we’ll consult with you on our progress and creative or structural decisions. Every choice you make at every stage of the process guides our direction, and if there are associated costs, complications, or adjustments to the completion date we’ll discuss that with you too.

It’s important for both of us that we agree about what we’re building, why, and how much it will cost. This avoids what’s called ‘feature creep,’ where a client asks for seemingly small changes or extensions of capability that are actually complicated and expensive, or a developer adds features and bills a client for things they don’t need and didn’t ask for.

Our goal – in website construction as well as design – is for everything to be as simple and effective and functional as possible. This means we try to minimize the cost of any website we build, so we look for solid free alternatives and solutions to expensive plugins and subscriptions that aren’t necessary and often come bundled with features that we don’t need.

Functional and cost-effective construction choices, decided by you.

Pay us for the work we do and only that, not things you don’t need, didn’t ask for, and can get for free. For example; when you become an editus client we grant you access to our secure client portal, which includes a unique download page of all your files, as they are, as we work on them. There are a number of fine premium plugins that achieve this functionality, but they cost a lot of money and include many things we don’t need or want. We considered that something of a challenge, so using a robust combination of a few free plugins plus some custom-written code we achieved the same results; with a cleaner, faster, and simpler user interface. This approach, this principle, works for us; we hope it will work for you.
